Full-Service MultiFamily Brokerage
John Katnik and Maxwell Forester offer institutional-grade advisory services to multifamily investors across the greater Los Angeles market, from first-time acquisitions to complex 1031 exchanges.
Acquisitions
Find the right property at the right price
Buying multifamily real estate in Los Angeles is competitive, time-sensitive, and unforgiving of missteps. John and Maxwell bring deep market knowledge and an extensive network of relationships to give their clients an edge, including access to off-market opportunities that never hit the public listings.
From initial investment criteria to offer strategy, due diligence, and closing, they guide buyers through every step of the process with clarity and discipline. Whether you’re a first-time multifamily buyer or an experienced investor expanding your portfolio, the team is built to help you move decisively and close confidently.
Their focus is exclusively on the LA South Bay and greater Los Angeles market, meaning when they advise you on a property, they’re speaking from genuine on-the-ground expertise, not generalist knowledge.
Dispositions
Maximize Your Return. Minimize Time on Market.
Selling a multifamily asset in Los Angeles demands more than listing it and waiting. John and Maxwell bring a disciplined disposition process built around accurate pricing, targeted buyer outreach, and competitive offer management, engineered to produce the strongest possible outcome at every stage.
From initial valuation and marketing strategy through negotiations, due diligence, and closing, they manage the full process so sellers stay informed without being buried in the details. Their deep relationships with active buyers, including private investors, family offices, and 1031 exchange buyers mean properties get in front of qualified capital fast.
Whether you’re selling a single asset or a multi-property portfolio, the team’s exclusive focus on the LA South Bay and greater Los Angeles market ensures every pricing and timing decision is grounded in current, local intelligence.
1031 Exchanges
Execute Your Exchange With Precision.
A 1031 exchange is one of the most powerful tools in a real estate investor’s arsenal – and one of the most unforgiving if mishandled. Strict timelines, IRS compliance requirements, and the pressure of identifying a replacement property quickly make execution everything.
John and Maxwell have guided investors through complex exchanges across the greater Los Angeles market, with a track record of identifying suitable replacement properties that meet both the timeline and the long-term investment objectives of their clients. They work closely with qualified intermediaries and client advisors to keep every moving part coordinated from sale through acquisition.
In addition, they provide access to a range of 1031 exchange solutions, including net lease (NNN) investments and Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) offerings, giving clients flexible options to meet their specific risk profiles and income goals.
